Blanchard Smashes 3 Homers for Minnesota Friday, June 29th, 2018 Bombs away! Minnesota bombardier Peter Blanchard set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence in a 8-2 win over the San Diego Hops. It was a powerful performance that should keep the fans at The Brew Stade buzzing for days. He spoke to the writers in the postgame press room and said, "I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one. I was ahead in the count, so I got set for a certain pitch, and got it ... all of it." For the game the Minnesota first baseman had 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 6, and scored 3 runs. Peter Blanchard hit a two-run home run off Steve Lawrence in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Steve Lawrence in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Del Hubble in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.
